Dawley High Street in 1902, A display for the Coronation of King Edward

This card is of the preparations for the Coronation of King George the V which was on 22nd June 1911. it was given to
Gwendoline Jones on her birthday and tells her that her father is on it, I think
he is the man on the left in the straw hat.
On the 1911 census Gwendoline is 13 and Herbert Slaney Jones is 46.

Number 53 High Street, with Slaney Jones standing in the doorway with one of he’s daughters, the first time I found him in
Kelly's directory is in 1891 and is still there in 1941 so was an ironmonger for over 50 years, he had a glass-roofed
building built next door were he’s wife Minnie sold chinaware including Captain Matthew Webb memorabilia.

Number 50 High Street, David Alfred Pugh in the 1917 Kelly's directory he is a draper 50 High street & Dun Cow P.H. New street,
before this, in 1913 he is a draper at 10 & 12 High Street, but by 1926 he’s a beer retailer in George Street (The Royal Oak),

Number 30 High Street, in 1913 it was Alfred Lewis’s butchers shop and in 1926 it was advertised as Lewis & Son but by 1937/41
it was John Lewis’s butchers, it later became a newsagents.

This view of the High Street is dated from 1900 or before, the building on the right with the sliding doors is
now Trendsetters, the other part of building to the left of this sliding door was demolished and a new building was built and
now as the Launderette and Parry Carver there, previously Jarvis (see photo below). The building just to the left of the banner is
where the Seven Stars was.

The photo is from the Dawley Book page 28

Number 23 High Street, in 1913 Mrs. Elizabeth Palmer is listed as a fishmonger,
in 1926 George Ernest Richard is now the fishmonger,
in 1934/37 Albert L Boyle is a fruiterer there,
but as we can see in this picture in circa 1960 that Jarvis as their name above the door.

Phillips's Stores Limited, grocers & tea dealers, 19 High Street. They were there in
Kelly’s 1909 and still there in Kelly’s 1941, from a previous photograph it looks like
they moved next door to number 21 High Street in the 50’s or 60’s.
